THOUGHTS WHILE DRIVING

In this episode I share my thoughts about feeling at times as if we've failed to do what we thought we should be doing. The reality is that what we're supposed to be doing is what we are doing now for the Lord. Therefore the goal is faithfulness in that.

In this episode I share my thoughts on how we need to allow duty and discipline to be our guide in our spiritual life over our emotions. The emotional response to our spiritual exercises is not a good gauge for how well we are doing in our walk.

Charles Spurgeon died relatively poor in many ways. During his life he amassed great wealth from book sales but gave most of that wealth away. In this episode I reflect on how this in a way in which he lived out the declaration of John the Baptist regarding Christ, that He must increase as I decrease.

When we are fatigued from life there's a temptation to give up. However God supplies abundant grace to those who seek Him to remain faithful. Fatigue doesn't have to mean failure.

We often think interruptions or difficulties are preventing us from fulfilling our purpose in life. However if we think biblically the "interruptions" are pieces that God uses in His Providence to conform us to the Image of Christ.

In this episode I share my thoughts on the reality that we all are looking for someone to fix what's broken in this world. Our culture is deceived with a worldview of extreme autonomy. However Jesus Christ is the coming King of kings and Lord of lords. This future and present reality should shape who rules our lives.

In this episode I share my thoughts about pursuing godliness in our lives. It is not a pragmatic strategy session but a life long pursuit of the Bread of Life and Living Water. If we're not godly maybe try asking God to make us godly, but beware, He just might do that.

In this episode I share my thoughts on how we too often treat sin therapeutically rather than theologically. The problem with this approach is it doesn't lead to long lasting change. Sin is first a theological issue and then there's a place for considering other factors.

Wisdom is needed to live a life of flourishing but is often in short supply. People willingly ignore the source of wisdom and the reality that is the straight path of life. Wisdom begins with a fear of the Lord and is available for the asking. In this episode I share my thoughts about wisdom and the contrast with the way of the fool.
